A very comfortable warm cafe and restuarant. I had the falafel and mushroom soup which were both reasonably priced and tasted good. Service was very good - its a nice place to chill out and read the paper at the weekeend - Im working in Dublin at the moment.

A group of twenty cinema buffs booked a few tables in the mezzanine where we held our annual film quiz followed by dinner. The service was great. Everybody had their meal served at the same time. I can only speak for my own meal but I had the boeuf bourguignon, which was delicious.

Arrived an hour before film due to start. Placed order for food and drinks, took at least 20 mins for drinks to arrive, had to remind waiting guy. The food when it did arrive was dreadful, chips tasted like they had been cooked in old, over-used oil. Fish was dry and over cooked. Just finished eating on time to make...

The Irish Film Institute stands in a quiet corner, not far from the much busier streets of Temple Bar. In the building next to it, there's the library and archive, which I did not have the time to visit, but looked quite promising.
The film selection is very good, with independent films from everywhere (it belongs to the Europa Cinemas...

This Institute has never failed me. At each visit, I enjoyed the film. They have an impressive selection of the less well-known films, often with an international flavour. I also enjoy eating at the Institute - the meat platter with olives, artichokes, pesto and hot bread being a favourite!

I have been going here for years and availing of everything the place has to offer. From their café & bar, to their shop and cinema, I have experienced them all and enjoyed them tremendously. This is a great place and a fantastic way to support Irish and independent films from all over the world. If you are a local,...
